Lots of Firsts

Tonight was my first official Cross Country Meet as a Coach, I still can’t believe I was in CHARGE! I left a little early from work to make it in time to meet up with the kids at school.

THEY ROCKED IT! I feel like a PROUD MOM :). I see some major room for improvement, and I learned a lot for example bring running shoes because I ran all over the course to cheer them on! Over all they all finished a strong 2 miles and had fun. Here are some of them with their awards.

I so need a nice Coach Polo shirt, I look like one of the runners..LOL

After the grand festivites Hubby and I decided to enjoy a date night together at the Gourmet Pizza Shop, I so needed a BEER!

I ordered their “That’s A Gouda” minus the cheese; BBQ SAUCE, CHICKEN, CILANTRO, RED ONIONS, and CASHEWS. The best thing ever!

What a busy fun exciting day! When I got home I found the course to my first 5k of the running season details in my email. I haven’t run a 5k in a very long time, so it will be fun to see how well I do. I told all of my students to come out and participate or just come out to cheer me on ;).

This weekend Hubby and I are staying up at Forest Home(where we work) for my first conference I am registering at, The “Adult Bible Conference”. We will be gone Friday night through Sunday morning(I am going to have to do the 5k in-between) we couldn’t be more excited to GET AWAY for the weekend!!!!

I have Bobbi’s Boot camp early in the morning so I am going to check up on my bloggies and then call it a night!!!

I DO like 5K's. Probably because I don't run much over 4 miles - so the 5K works. My favorite? One at a local state park here, it's small - about 100 runners. And the best part - free beer from a local brewery afterward (and root beer) (and a whole bunch of door prizes). And it's fun to actually run out in the woods too!

Congrats Bobbi! That's so great that your team succeed! I am sure it felt amazing for them and also for you.

I like 5k's but sometimes, I think they are harder than long distance running. I guess it's because I really go full force for those 3 miles in hopes to working on times. It really kicks my butt but they are so invigorating.

I do like 5Ks, but they stress me out a bit- I always get so competitive with myself because I KNOW I can run fast... then get super exhausted after! I love longer runs because my inner pressure isn't there, the only thing I want to do is FINISH!

I'm a lurker...never commented before. But I smiled when you said you feel like a mom. I'm a violin teacher and I have my first studio recital this weekend that 15 of my own students are playing at. I totally know what you mean by feeling like a mom! :)

Isn't coaching the greatest? I coached Freshman Volleyball (where I went to high school) for a few years, and it was so rewarding. Glad your kiddos did well! Love the hubby's "I'm gonna eat you" face ;)
